The Y2K Virus has just knocked out every single server in the world, banks are panicking, security is down and NOTHING is in order! There is one coder who may have the anti-virus code to reverse this mess, but he is no where to be found. We know the location of his loft in New York City, its up to you to break into his loft and find that anti-virus!

Super duper cute themed room! We loved the atmosphere and the puzzles. These puzzles didn’t make quite as much sense but we were tired after doing other rooms before it. Highly recommend especially as a kid from the 90s the nostalgia is strong

I enjoyed the nostalgia of this room. I was a senior in high school during Y2K so this brought me back to that era of my life. I really enjoyed all the throwback music playing in the background, but wished they would play the whole song instead of just partial clips.

This room was so well-decorated and had such a fun vibe. Definitely a great room for beginners as it was fairly easy but I still had a great time. My only complaint was that I wish there were more puzzles so I could spend more time in the room!

This room was very well done. It is a great room for anybody new to escape rooms and still fun for more experienced players. The puzzles all made sense and the overall game was very enjoyable.

Gameplay

Everything made sense. There wasn’t one puzzle where you were just like “but why? But how?” Flowed very nicely.

Atmosphere

9/10, minus 1 for no Pokémon references or paraphernalia. Jk 10/10.

Pretty standard escape story and room set up. The era gave it a little sparkle and uniqueness.

At the beginning the game was more difficult because you were just thrown in with no sense of direction. However once the flow started it became easier.

More mechanical with some high tech components.

Fun room if you’re into 90s nostalgia. Lots of locks and you’re able to skip a fair number of puzzles by questing the last number of a number of puzzles.

Love the theme for this - this was room made for millennials - if you are nostalgic for the 90s, you will love this room! Easiest room at this location, they let us book Exit Protocol right after since we still had the itch to play!

An explosion of 90s nostalgia but without order or reason. Many of the things are nostalgia for nostalgia sake. They own this on their website, so at least they know. But many of the clues are very obvious to the point that it takes from the immersion. Plus some of the decor decisions aren’t believable. Tons and tons of locks too. Plus a couple of red herrings. Though not on purpose. Nevertheless, was fun and I’m glad I played.

Way too many locks. Many of which were the same type of lock.

Literally did this room for the nostalgia because we personally lived through the theme. While the room was more straightforward, the theme made it. Some of the puzzles we were able to brute force (which they did say they were working to modify and improve) but it was all fun. Also we loved our GM, Shelby. We never asked for clues but she nudged us in the right direction. And even before we played, we had a great conversation about rooms in general. If she didn’t have another game right after, we would have definitely continued that convo. Thank you again, Shelby! Basic room but okay for the nostalgia.
